Is a question asked by Patrick J. Buchanan in his classic work The Death Of The West. `
Says Buchanan: `
One reason is "The Liberals have captured the institutions where the young
spend most of their waking hours -- MTV and primetime, movies and
magazines, schools and colleges -- the Liberal Revolution is able to shape
the values, beliefs, and attitudes of the young. Artists, actors, playwrights,
song writers, and popular singers are almost all on the other side. `
(As for the Conservatives. . . ) `
Op-ed page commentators and radio hosts (eg Mark Levine) cannot match
this cultural firepower. The arsenals are unequal. Moreover, the entertainment
that the (Liberal) cultural revolution has to offer is far more attractive and
alluring, thus many of the children of traditionalists defect."
__Patrick J. Buchanan, The Death Of The West, pages 201-211
`
The Death Of The West is an oldie goldie but well worth
reading or re-reading. Its a magnificent conservative
work.

Good points. It’s going to be hard to break the habit of using “libtard”.
Because the media is on their side and they control the narrative...
It makes me want to puke.
“lobbing shells at the fort, slowly but steadily chipping away, while conservatives do relatively little to counter the attacks.”
I think this strategy is extremely effective. No small chip is significant enough to mount up and go have a war. It would appear to the public to be a massive overreaction and our side would lose every battle.
The fact of the matter is, we should have gone to war over seat belt laws. We didn’t and now they think they can force us to get whatever funky crap they come up with injected into our bodies.
“The Liberals have captured the institutions where the young
spend most of their waking hours — MTV and primetime, movies and magazines, schools and colleges”
And is turning them into Sheeeeeeple.
Good point.
Familiar with it all.
I believe primarily it's because globalist anti-Christians control our media and education system. These 2 institutions, more than any other, have been responsible for selling, defending and perpetutating the liberal globalist worldview - IMHO.
“Why Have Conservatives Been Unable To Stop The Liberal Revolution That Threatens Their Culture?”
Your headline is complete BS. When Obuma sent his BLM big chief down to my state to instigate riots, he got 5 to 15 years in state prison for attempted murder.
When the fearsome Antifa weenies tried to goosestep thru American communities, they were met by armed patriots.
Oh, you haven’t heard about that. No chit! Do you think the propaganda press would publish the fact that their useful idiots could be locked away for 15 years or met by armed patriots?
There’s a reason, Jag 5000, why the fat 350-lb fake Rambos in the weenie deep state don’t come around and try to start sh*t in most of the country.
I suggest everyone take a walk thru any federal bureaucracy and report back to us on how combat ready are the fat, 50-IQ, affirmative action, coke-guzzling weenies in the fearsome federal bureaucracy.
‘Republicans’ are PART OF IT
Define your terms. If by “conservatives” you mean Republican politicians, I can easily point out the flaw in your reasoning: Republicans are by and large leftwing these days.
If by “conservatives” you mean the rank and file people in the country, the answer is two-fold:
1) people in the USA are mostly fat and lazy. Fighting the destruction of your culture requires effort and, increasingly, sacrifice.
2) “Conservatives” are just as prone to absorbing brainwashing as anyone else. All the Left ever had to do was repeat the lies and propaganda long enough, and eventually “conservatives” adopt the thinking as their own and even defend it. Most of the feminist lies, for example, are vigorously defended by a substantial cadre of Freepers regularly. Try saying that women don’t belong in the military and see what responses you get. Or, for that matter, say that homosexuality is a mental disorder.
You can’t fight something if you don’t have the will to fight it. You need to believe that your position is correct in order to defend it. Once the propaganda has made you doubt yourself, or even reject your own belief system, you don’t have the guts to stand your ground.
👍
There is some truth to this, however, ultimately, it’s at the behest of Government. Government always trends to that what gives it more power. Nothing gives it more power than modern “liberals”.
This was the first of the signs and symptoms appearing. The infection was several generations before that.
Bill Ayers didn’t get to his level of influence without help from his mentors.
In other words, we have a sense of shame, and the left uses it against us constantly.
This book gives you an idea of what we’re up against
Repeal And Replace America
by Jim Spurlock
You nailed it.
Exactly correct.
______
By the way, all the conservative organizations that one would expect to hold the line, have already caved in:
For example:
The Evangelicals (on Homo marriage)
National Review the flagship of the Conservative Movement has caved in on Homo Marriage.
The Boy Scouts
The Disney Company
Hallmark
Even Donald Trump said he had no problem with Homo marriage.
How about Fox News? Well google and read “The Gaying Of Fox News” and decide for yourself.
The GOP this year has warmly welcomed the Log Cabin Republicans into their ranks and said that their presence and influence will BE GOOD FOR THE GOP.
Question: Is that why some conservatives say the GOP is the Gay Old Party?
Other conservatives have said that the GOP is the Gutless Old Party.
Thoughts?

Opps, double posted in error.

I read your post carefully.
You are a wise man.
Here is the good news:
Feminism and Homosexualism and all the other society wrecking isms are going to eventually be destroyed by General Time and General Death.
In the political future of this land area (America) the institution of Patriarchy will be restored and Feminism and Homosexualism will be destroyed. We gotta give General Time time to get his battlefield work accomplkished.
